I should be working, but I just finished listening to it. Epic job in articulating the mechanical concepts clearly in regards to the tissue stress model. I liked the example with the elastic band too. Keep up the great work, Ian.

I'll be giving the following 45 minute lecture at the International Podiatry Seminar in Zaragoza, Spain on February 7 & 8. 2014 titled ""Tissue Stress Theory: Changing the Paradigm in Biomechanical Therapy for the Foot and Lower Extremity".

Should tie in nicely with Ian's podcast. Hope to see many of you all there.
